Clean-energy and clean transportation businesses created more than 78,600 U.S. jobs in 2013, including 1,984 in biofuel projects, according to a study by Environmental Entrepreneurs. The number of clean-energy job announcements dipped about 30% from 2012, partly as a result of declining natural gas costs and efforts aimed at undermining clean-energy policies.
